Host David Jolly is joined by Mario Cardona, the Chief of Policy and Practice for Child Care Aware of America. CCAoA provides leadership and outreach to the government, CCAoA members, and the general public on issues relating to the early care and education system. Cardona previously served as a Senior Policy Advisor in the Obama Administration. Early childhood education is a passion of both the host and guest in this episode and David and Mario dive into the details of how beneficial investment in early childhood education can be for the child, their family, and the entire surrounding community. They also touch on the historic investment in early education that the Biden Administration just made via the American Rescue Plan. If we make the right investments, we can change the world!
